Book coloured bath resurfacing in Cranbrook

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in Cranbrook

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. We regularly repair coloured shower trays, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins, and the jobs we see most are a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and selling or letting a home with an old suite.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Cranbrook

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How we price coloured bath resurfacing

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cranbrook. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a day or two, depending on how many items in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
